BUTTON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 435,820, dated September 2, 189.0.

Application filed June 20, 1890. Serial No. 356,036. (No model.)

To all whom t may cancela.:

Be it known that I, NICOLAS GEOEEROY, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Sleeve-Links, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in sleeve-1inksg and the invention consists in the details of construction set forth in the following specification and claim, and illustrated ,in the accompanying drawings, in which` Figure l is an inverted plan view of a sleevelink containing my invention. Fig. 2 is a seetion along a: a, Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a section along y y, Fig. 2. l

In the drawings, the letters A A indicate two buttons which are joined by a connection or link B. The link is joined to the buttons by hinged eyes or connections C. The

eyes C swing on pintles D having legs E soldered or fixed to plates F. These plates are soldered or secured to the under side of 3 the buttons A.

In the drawings both eyes C are shown as beinghinged; but, if desired, one eyeV may be hinged and the other rigidly secured to its' button. I prefer, however, to have both eyes C hinged, as thereby each button A is iiexibly arranged so as to be readily slipped or passed through a button-hole.

As the buttons are not detachable from the link B, said buttons are not liable to be lost, and by hinging the buttons as described they can be readily slipped through a button-hole without Inussing the sleeve or cuff.

That I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the buttons A, each having a rigidly-attached pintle D, provided with legs E, of the swinging eyes C, j ournaled on the pintles, and the link B, loosely connected to the swinging eyes, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence Oi' two subscribing witnesses.

N. GEOFFROY.
